Lawmakers Wrap Up Health Care Legislation

During an all-night session, Republican senators succeeded in making some minor changes to the bill of fixes to the new health care reform law. That will force another House vote on the legislation. Democrats say they're on track to send the bill to President Obama this afternoon.
